market value of a vehicle means the price that the vehicle would
bring at open market, as determined (having regard to local
market prices and the age and condition of the vehicle) by the
person who is required to determine whether or not the vehicle is
a total loss.
motor bike has the same meaning as it has in the Road Transport
(Safety and Traffic Management) (Road Rules) Regulation 1999.
old register means the register kept under section 255 before the
repeal of that section by the Road Transport (General)
Amendment (Written-off Vehicles) Act 2007.
register means the register of written-off vehicles kept by the
Authority under this Part.
repairable write-off means a written-off vehicle that is not a
statutory write-off.
salvage value of a vehicle means the value of the vehicle if sold
for scrap, as determined by the person who is required to
determine whether or not the vehicle is a total loss.
self-insurer means any person who, in the course of a business,
is the responsible person for 5 or more late model vehicles (or any
other number of late model vehicles that may be prescribed by the
regulations) in respect of each of which there is no insurance
policy with an insurer covering loss or damage.
statutory write-off means (subject to the regulations, which may
exclude written-off vehicles from this definition) a written-off
vehicle that is one of the following:
(a) a vehicle (other than a motor bike) that has been:
(i) immersed in salt water above the doorsill level for
any period, or
(ii) immersed in fresh water up to or above the
dashboard or steering wheel for more than 48 hours,
(b) a motor bike that has been:
(i) fully immersed in salt water for any period, or
(ii) fully immersed in fresh water for more than 48
hours,
(c) a vehicle that has been burnt to such an extent that it is fit

bonnet, guards, doors and boot lid),
Page 5
Road Transport (General) Amendment (Written-off Vehicles) Bill 2007
Schedule 1 Amendments
(e) a vehicle (other than a motor bike) that has been damaged
by at least 3 of the following indicators of impact damage:
(i) damage to an area of the roof equal to or exceeding
300 mm by 300 mm,
(ii) damage to an area of the cabin floor pan equal to or
exceeding 300 mm by 300 mm,
(iii) damage to an area of the firewall equal to or
exceeding 300 mm by 300 mm,
(iv) any damage to the suspension,
(v) damage (whether a crack or a break) to any major
mechanical component, such as the engine block or

(f) a motor bike that has impact damage (excluding
scratching) to the suspension and at least 2 areas of
structural frame damage,
(g) a vehicle that has such other damage, or is in such other
state or condition, as is prescribed by the regulations.
total loss means a vehicle:
(a) that has been damaged by collision, fire, flood, accident,
trespass or any other event, or has been dismantled, to the
extent that, or
(b) that has been demolished, so that,
its salvage value, plus the cost of repairing the vehicle for use on
a road, would be more than the market value of the vehicle
immediately before the event that caused the damage or before
the circumstances that caused the dismantling or demolition.
Note. For example, a vehicle is insured for its market value of $15,000.
It is damaged in a collision and that damage would cost $12,000 to
repair, but it has a salvage value of $4,500. The vehicle would be
determined to be a total loss (salvage value + cost of repair > market
value) because $4,500 + $12,000 > $15,000. It would be uneconomic for
the insurer to repair the vehicle, since the cost to the insurer of repairing
the vehicle would be $12,000 and the cost if the insurer were to pay the
insurance claim on the vehicle is the sum insured ($15,000) minus the
salvage costs ($4,500), that is, a lower cost of $10,500.
vehicle identifier, in relation to a vehicle, means:
(a) in the case of a vehicle manufactured before 1 January
1989--the number quoted on the compliance plate that
uniquely identifies the vehicle and sets it apart from
similar vehicles and that corresponds to the identification
number of the vehicle that is permanently recorded
elsewhere on the vehicle, or
Page 6
Road Transport (General) Amendment (Written-off Vehicles) Bill 2007
Amendments Schedule 1
(b) in any other case--the unique vehicle identification
number (or "VIN") allocated to the vehicle in accordance
with the International Standards Organisation's vehicle
identification system required under an Australian Design
Rule adopted by the regulations made under the Road
Transport (Vehicle Registration) Act 1997.
written-off vehicle means a vehicle:
(a) that has been determined to be a total loss by an insurer,
auto-dismantler or dealer, or
(b) that has been determined to be a total loss, or disposed of
to an auto-dismantler, or both, by a self-insurer.
Note. There are two categories of written-off vehicles: some are
statutory write-offs (because they fall within the definition of statutory
write-off in this section) and all others are repairable write-offs.
written-off warning label means a label attached to a written-off
vehicle under and in accordance with Division 5.
(2) A reference in this Part to a person who carries on a business
excludes a person who carries on such a business only as an
employee.

Amendments Schedule 1
(b) that request includes a declaration that the vehicle the
subject of the information has not been sold in the State or
elsewhere as a repairable write-off or as a vehicle in a
corresponding category of repairable write-offs, and
(c) in relation only to a request to correct a vehicle's
categorisation from statutory write-off to repairable
write-off:

made to maintain the integrity of the information kept on
the register, or for any other reason.
